And I just tried out "Drag" mode and damn, is it ever nice. The sense of speed is very cool. It's just like the drag race scenes in the Fast and the Furious or something. Totally awsome. I swear, with more cars and stuff (the demo only has 1 car with a few diff. paint jobs) I could play "Drag" mode for hours by itself.

Wicked fun.

Since it sounds like the demo is pretty fun, I'll have to get ominub to download it so I can try it out

i don't like drag mode...cause it switches lanes for you once you press a direction, what i mean is you don't directly control your car, but if you press left for example, it'll change 1 lane to the left, and it will straiten the car out for you...so you dont have 100% control over it


havent tried the other mode yet...meh, try it later today...

Hmmm... yes. That does kind of suck. And the other (pedestrian) traffic in drag mode is always the exact same way, so as long as you just get around and ahead of the pack (with proper shifting and nitro usage), and then move into a certain lane at a certain time, winning is no problem (because the biggest problem in drag mode seems to be hitting stuff).

A damage model would also be nice, but if there was going to be one for the finished version, it probably would have been included in the demo.

The feeling of speed in this game is totally amazing though. Very nice and fast.
